Hi All,

I just found an issue about mount/imgmount command when running windows 95 in dosbox.
For example, I tried to mount a folder of my host comupter as E drive using the command "mount e: .\test".
And then, I use imgmount command with "boot -l c" command to mount and boot an win95 installed bootable image to run win95 in dosbox.
But inside win95, the folder I mounted as E drive cannot be found.
Also I tried to add a hardware in win95 with its built in functions, but no such HDD found.
I just wonder if anything wrong I did?
Or anything else I can do to meet my need that is boot win95 with an img file, and also have an HDD available in win95 which is a folder of my host computer?

Thanks you all.

DOSBox does not support Windows 9x and this "losing" of mounted drives is a known issue. You might have more luck trying a fork of DOSBox (dosbox-x for example).
